Quail Valley

Today the Press Enterprise ran a strong Opinion piece on Quail Valley in Riverside County. Quail Valley is now part of Menifee which was incorporated last year. Quail Valley is an Environmental Justice challenge to put it mildly. The entire community of Quail Valley, 1,000 plus homes are on septic tanks. The problem is that when we have downpours the leaky septic tanks over flow and pollute the ground water and Canyon Lake--a potable water source. The PE called for Quail Valley to be hooked up to a sewer system but the rub is how is this done in an EJ community. I'm going to stay on top of this story as it is an important case study.
